  • Process and device for the determination of the characteristics of the geological formations traversed by a borehole
    Patent number: 3990297
    Abstract: Process for determining characteristics of the geological formations traversed by a borehole, making use of a sonde by means of which the intensity of the .gamma. rays naturally radiated from the formations is measured, both longitudinal and transversal acoustic waves are transmitted to the formations, their travel time and their attenuation between two receivers placed in contact with the formations are measured and by combination of the so-obtained values a resulting value is elaborated which is representative of one characteristic of the surveyed formations.
    Type: Grant
